Care

Semi-Dwarf Arborvitae Care

Provide full sun to partial shade. Too much shade will cause growth issues. Partial (afternoon) shade may be beneficial when growing in hotter climates.

Fertilization is suggested, especially if soil is poor. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option.

Naturally grows in a dense, cylindrical pattern with a pyramidal top section. New growth may be trimmed to shape in late spring, following plant’s natural habit. Keep well-watered after trimming to prevent browning of edges. Do not cut too hard or cut into thick stems, which will result in slow recovery.

More trimming may be required if multiple leaders develop. In this case, select a central leader and trim surrounding growth more drastically to suppress it and allow the chosen leader to take shape. For the best form, do not let the plant decide how it should grow – impose the shape on it once and it should stick.

Water regularly, especially after planting prior to establishment. Attempt to keep soil moist but not wet.

This arborvitae prefers soil that is well draining.

Space 2' apart at a minimum.

Perfect

I read about Emerald Petite Arborvitae online and realized it was the perfect plant for a space in my front garden. Its max height is 5-6 feet. I tried to purchase local, but neither of the local nurseries carried it. So I looked online. I’ve purchased plants online before and it has been kind of hit or miss with the quality.

The plants from Almanac were excellent. Very healthy, very green, exactly what I wanted. They went in the ground yesterday and already look great.

High quality product!

Thanks so much, Daniel! We’re thrilled the Emerald Petites hit the mark for your space—and really appreciate you giving us a shot after some mixed experiences with other online plant orders. It means a lot to hear they arrived healthy and ready to shine in your front garden.

Glad they’re already looking great in the ground—here’s to many seasons of beauty ahead!

Lovely plants and great service

This is my first time ordering plants online and I was very hesitant initially. But Justin from the Almanac team was very professional, thorough and took time to give detailed answer to all my questions before I placed the order. And the plants came in couple of days in a perfect condition, neatly packed, no damage to any part of the plant. You can tell the plants were very well cared for. I ordered Emerald petite Arborvitae which I couldn't find in any local nursery in Michigan. Excellent customer service , prompt responses and great plants. Will definitely order again without hesitation.

Thank you so much for your business and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, Archana! I’m really glad I could help answer your questions and make the process feel more comfortable—it means a lot that you trusted us for your first online plant order. So happy to hear the Emerald Petites arrived safe and sound and that they filled the gap your local nurseries couldn’t.

We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to helping with your next order whenever you’re ready!

Petite Emerald Green

I didnt even know such a thing existed but when they got here they were beautiful. Completly healthy and perfectly shaped. These were not seedlings but at least 2 foot plants.. I orded a second batch. Both orders came within days. I order alot online and these folks are as good as it gets.

Thanks so much, Steven — and sorry we're late getting back to you! We're thrilled you discovered the Emerald Petite and that both batches showed up healthy, well-shaped, and quick to arrive. It seriously means a lot coming from someone who orders online often. Thanks for the kind words and for coming back for round two!
